2024 Quilt Show Update

 Quilt Show 2024

Only four months left until the 2024 Quilt Show. Hope everyone is bustling around making quilts and getting ready for the show.

We have had 110 give aways already turned in. I know lots of you are busy making the give aways and I still have buttons and bands to make more. Our goal is to make 700. Please bring what you have finished to the January meeting. For every 10 you bring in your name goes into the monthly drawing.

Clarification on the quilt requirements for the show.

This is the year to challenge ourselves and try something new for the show.
